Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 5, Mariners 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Yielding just four hits, Steve Stone notched his 22nd victory of the season as the Orioles defeated the Mariners, 5-1. The Orioles scored in the fourth inning on a double by Al Bumbry and single by Eddie Murray, and again in the sixth on a bases-loaded single by Rich Dauer. The Orioles then iced the game with three runs in the eighth on a single by Ken Singleton, double by Murray, sacrifice fly by Gary Roenicke, double by Rick Dempsey and single by Kiko Garcia.

Angels 7, Red Sox 2 at Boston (night game):
Slugging out 14 hits, the Angels snapped Boston's nine-game winning streak, beating the Red Sox, 7-2. A homer by Rod Carew in the first inning gave the Angels a 2-0 margin and they scored three runs in the fifth on a single by Bobby Grich, double by Larry Harlow and singles by Carney Lansford and Carew. Jason Thompson socked a homer in the sixth.

Tigers 5, White Sox 4 at Detroit (night game):
The winning run scored on a wild pitch as the Tigers rallied for four tallies in the ninth inning to edge the White Sox, 5-4. Trailing, 4-1, the Tigers loaded the bases on singles by John Wockenfuss and Al Cowens and a walk to Tom Brookens. Pinch-hitter Champ Summers was hit by a pitch to force in the first run, a groundout by Duffy Dyer produced the second marker and the tying tally registered on a single by Ricky Peters. White Sox reliever Ed Farmer then uncorked a wild pitch while facing Alan Trammell.

Brewers 3, Royals 1 at Kansas City (night game):
The Brewers scored two runs in the 10th inning to down the Royals, 3-1. The score was 1-1 when Robin Yount opened the 10th with a walk. Cecil Cooper followed with a sacrifice bunt that Royals catcher Darrell Porter fielded near the third base line and threw into right field, allowing Yount to come home. A double by Don Money plated Cooper with an insurance tally. George Brett socked a solo homer in two official trips to the plate to raise his average to .402.

Indians 7, Twins 1 at Minnesota (night game):
In a game called in the bottom of the seventh inning because of rain, the Indians downed the Twins, 7-1. The Tribe jumped off to a 5-0 lead in their first turn at bat with a two-run single by Dave Rosello capping the outburst. Mike Hargrove singled home tallies in the second and fourth innings.

Yankees 8, A's 3 at New York (night game):
Driving in five runs with a triple and double, Bucky Dent paced the Yankees to an 8-3 triumph over Oakland. The Yankees tallied four times in the first inning. Their first run resulted from an error by A's second sacker Jeff Cox and, after the bases were loaded, Dent drilled a three-bagger. Oscar Gamble and Jim Spencer clouted homers in the fifth and sixth innings, respectively, before a double by Dent produced two runs in the eighth.

Blue Jays 4, Rangers 2 at Texas (night game):
A three-run homer by Lloyd Moseby lifted the Blue Jays to a 4-2 triumph over the Rangers behind the six-hit pitching of Dave Stieb. The Jays trailed, 2.1, when Ernie Whitt opened the seventh inning with a single. After a sacrifice by Alfredo Griffin and walk to Bob Bailor, Moseby connected for the circuit.

Braves 4, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
Homers by Dale Murphy and Gary Matthews powered the Braves to a 4-3 victory over the Cubs. The Cubs' Lynn McGlothen had a no-hitter entering the seventh inning before Bob Horner beat out an infield single. Chris Chambliss followed with a single and Murphy then drilled a ball into the right field bleachers. Matthews connected for the circuit in the eighth to account for the deciding run.

Dodgers 2, Mets 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
Winning their seventh straight game, the Dodgers blanked the Mets, 2-0. The Dodgers scored in the second inning when Ron Cey and Mike Scioscia singled and Cey came in on a squeeze bunt by Bill Russell. Steve Garvey connected for a homer in the sixth.

Pirates 10, Astros 4 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Dave Parker went 4-for-4, including a pair of two-run homers and an RBI single, to lead the Pirates to a 10-4 triumph over the Astros. Parker's run-scoring single came in the first inning and Mike Easler capped the frame with a two-run round-tripper. Parker hit his first homer of the game in the third inning and his second in the fifth.

Padres 4, Expos 3 at San Diego (night game):
Three Padres pitchers combined to allow only five hits in a 4-3 victory over the Expos. The Padres scored twice in the first inning, putting together four singles, with Gene Tenace and Barry Evans driving in runs. A sacrifice fly by Craig Stimac added a fourth-inning tally and the Padres registered their final marker in the fifth on an RBI single by Luis Salazar.

Phillies 4, Giants 3 at San Francisco (night game):
Completing the three-game sweep, the Phillies downed the Giants, 4-3. The Phils surged to a 3-0 lead in the second inning on a throwing error by Giants third baseman Darrell Evans, a double by Dick Ruthven and single by Mike Schmidt. Larry Bowa squeezed home a sixth-inning tally. Chris Bourjos hit his first major league homer -- a two-run shot -- in the bottom of the ninth for the Giants.

Cardinals 4, Reds 3 at St. Louis (night game):
Ken Reitz drove in three runs with two homers and Tony Scott then batted in the winning tally with a single in the 10th as the Cardinals edged the Reds, 4-3. Pinch-hitter Terry Kennedy began the 10th with a walk and was replaced by pinch-runner Don Hood, who reached second on a sacrifice by Ken Oberkfell and scored on Scott's hit.
